Good Morning Friends,
How much do you have to have for God to be
able to use you?
According to Jesus, not much, only a very
little.
“When Jesus looked up and saw a great crowd
coming toward him, he said to Philip, ‘Where shall we buy bread for these
people to eat?’ He asked this only to test him, for he already had in mind what
he was going to do. Philip answered him, ‘Eight months’ wages would not buy enough
bread for each one to have a bite!’ Another of his disciples, Andrew, Simon
Peter’s brother, spoke up, ‘Here is a boy with five small barley loaves and two
small fish, but how far will they go among so many?’ Jesus said, ‘Have the
people sit down.’ There was plenty of grass in that place, and the men sat
down, about five thousand of them. Jesus then took the loaves, gave thanks, and
distributed to those who were seated as much as they wanted. He did the same with
the fish.” (John 6:5-11)
A little boy’s lunch with a couple of small
fish and five dinner rolls was enough for Jesus to use to feed a multitude. It
doesn’t take much when you put it into the hands of Jesus.
No matter how little talent, intelligence,
money, time, or other resources we have, if we’ll put it into the hands of
Jesus, He’ll use it to accomplish more than we ever dreamed He could. How many
Sunday School teachers are there out there who thought they weren’t any good at
teaching and did it only because someone had to, and yet out of their class has
come a preacher through whom God has reached thousands? How many simple prayers
have been powerfully answered by God? How many small offerings have been
multiplied to accomplish miracles?
What you have doesn’t have to be grand and
you don’t have to have a lot. But give what you have to Jesus and He’ll use it
in marvelous ways.
His, by Grace,
Steve
